I KNEW IT(:This is good.They would cut out important parts if they made it one movie.

And, seriously??OVER A YEAR AWAY?For just the first part?Ughh, after Eclipse, I'm just gonna lose it.I'm going to lose my mind.ALthough, they have to do a bunch of editing because of,like, Renesmee and stuff, I guess.

How can I survive a whole year? Do we have to donate money to make it go faster!!!! ????? Cause I will. No, I change my mind, I don't want Twilight to ever end, so the longer it takes the better chance we have of SM writing another!

We have to understand that since both movieswill have the same director it probablymeans the they will both get filmed beforeany studio work gets done. CW was doing studiowork on New Moon while Eclipse was being filmed.

On another note...read the fifth paragraphit shows KS and RP as the saga stars...whichprobably gives us an indication of how thebook is going to be interpreted. I would love for the saga to be full circle startingwith Bella and Edward only and ending thatway too. I hope so.

YaY!!! I wish I didn't have to wait until Nov. 2011 but I'm kinda happy because I wasn't ready for the Twilight Saga to be done LoL ;) Plus I understand this one needs some time, and I would rather wait so it will be awesome...it better LoL ;)
